Answer this question truthfully
### Question: What to expect if I have Polio  (Outlook/Prognosis)?
### Response: What to expect depends on the form of the disease (subclinical, nonparalytic, or paralytic) and the site affected. If the spinal cord and brain are not involved, which is the case more than 90% of the time, complete recovery is likely. Brain or spinal cord involvement is a medical emergency that may result in paralysis or death (usually from respiratory difficulties). Disability is more common than death. Infection high in the spinal cord or in the brain increases the risk of breathing problems.
